200 Hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training
Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic, powerful form of practice that involves following a set of sequences. Ashtanga means 8 limbs of the human body, based on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Ashtanga follows a lineage tradition that originated in Mysore, South India which has now spread globally. It has a highly purifying effect on the body and mind. Ashtanga is a powerful practice and enables you to develop strength, coordination, flexibility, focus, and discipline.
In 200 Hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Goa, you get an opportunity to focus on developing a personal practice, while also learning about wider and deeper implications of a traditional form of Yoga.
What is Ashtanga Yoga & What Will You Learn?
Ashtanga Vinyasa is one of the systems of Hatha yoga that synchronises breath and movement in a flowing sequence of asana. Each asana has a unique number of movements into and out of it (which are also called vinyasa). When practiced regularly, Ashtanga Vinyasa can help to develop strength, flexibility, stamina and to cultivate an all – round feeling of well being and focused mind.
This method was developed in Mysore by Sri K. Patthabi Jois who learned it from his guru, Sri T. Krishnamacharya. Initially this style of yoga was designed as a training for the soldiers at the army of the Maharaja of Mysore and its name. Only in the mid 60’s Patthabi Jois started to teach western students in Mysore; he then made several trips worldwide at the invitation of his students to propagate this form of yoga.
In Ashtanga Yoga the set sequence of postures is repeated each time we practice, so that the sequence becomes familiar, and in doing so we develop a self practice.
When practiced mindfully and in a way that supports each individual person, this system of yoga can be very therapeutic.
The fundamental practices of Ashtanga Yoga are: the Tristana method (asana/ujjayi breath/drishti), Vinyasa (syncronized breath and movement) and bandhas (energetic lock or holds).
In Shree Hari Yoga School Goa’s 200 Hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Goa you will learn the primary series set of asana and you will be practicing it both in led class and in Mysore style, so that you will get stronger day after day and you will memorize the sequence. Both styles of classes will happen under the attentive guide of your asana teacher.
In your art of teaching classes you will go through all the postures of the primary series and how to modify and adjust according to the different anatomies of people.
In the philosophy class you will go in depth in the learning of the Ashtanga Yoga (eight limbs of Raja Yoga) as explained by the great sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.

Mantras & Mudras
Mantras are considered as an important part of Vinyasa Yoga. When you recite mantras, the energy channels of the body open up, and you become more reception to the universe. It also aids one to focus the mind on the yoga practice. When you recite mantras, your stored emotions are released and you get the full benefits of the asanas.
Mudras are nothing but gestures, which you make with your hands and fingers mostly. There are nerves that pass through the fingertips, and each one is connected to a specific organ. When you press the same, you are actually providing therapeutic healing to those body parts.
Bandhas
In Vinyasa Yoga, you will discover three essential bandhas that harness subtle energies. These bandhas aid in breath retention, allowing for prolonged posture holding. They promote tranquility and composure throughout your Vinyasa Yoga practice, while also facilitating the smooth flow of Prana.
The four bandhas in Yoga are:
Practicum
